{"Image DocumentName": "Exercise and Fitness Development Investigation: Myth, Fact or Not Sure?", "Image ImageDescription": "Divide the class into several groups. Divide the cards evenly among the groups. Group places each card under one of the following headings: Myth, Fact, or Unsure. Reveal to the class each card placed under the respective headings by reading aloud the description on the back of the card. Clarify any information related to the myths or misconceptions about exercise and fitness development. Have each group create a card that represents either a fact or a myth about exercise or fitness, including an explanation for their choice. Refer to RM 5\u2013NU: Exercise and Fitness Development Investigation: Myth or Fact? Suggestion for Instruction / Assessment. Exercise and Fitness Development Investigation: Myth, Fact, or Not Sure? Some common myths or misconceptions about exercise and fitness development are identified in RM 5\u2013FM. The myth and fact statements provided in RM 5\u2013FM may be placed on index cards for this learning activity. Divide the class into several groups. Divide the cards provided in RM 5\u2013FM evenly among the groups. Identify one person in each group to read aloud the statements on the cards to the group. After hearing a statement, the group places the card under one of the following headings: Myth, Fact, or Unsure. Once each group has placed each of their cards under one of the three headings, allow the class to review the placement of the cards and provide a final opportunity to change any of the cards to a different heading. Then have three students (one per heading) reveal to the class each card placed under the respective headings by reading aloud the description on the back of the card. For the Unsure group, have the class use either a show of hands or the Opinion Lines strategy (see Appendix E) to determine the applicable location (Myth or Fact) of each card and then read the description on the back of the card. After all the descriptions have been read, lead a class discussion to clarify any information related to the myths or misconceptions about exercise and fitness development. Have each group create a card that represents either a fact or a myth about exercise or fitness, including an explanation for their choice. Each group has a chance to stump classmates with their submission. In addition, have students explore and identify sources for the exercise and fitness information they used to create their cards. Refer to RM 5\u2013NU: Exercise and Fitness Development Investigation: Myth or Fact? Note to Teacher. Reword some of the myth statements into fact statements. Students may suggest other myths. They may also ask for clarification from various sources. Be cautious of where answers to these queries come from. Use information from reliable sources. References.
